Leaving all the new parts in the box I attacked all the metal to get rid of rust and crud.

I always use Knot wire brush attachments with my angle grinder for large areas and smaller brushes on my trusty power drill for tight corners and smaller areas.

I always wear a face mask, face visor and gloves when doing this and once done always neutralise the cleaned steel and rust with a tannic acid treatment before painting with a good quality paint (not NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- Hammerite !!)

Lower rear arms

Front hub. Orly one because the other one I had was knackered. Bearing was not so good and the pinch assembly thread was torn and the pinch point bent so I must have taken some effort to get it of my old car

And finally for this set the rear trailing arms. I am going to change the links and bushes as these will be worn. So cleaning up, removing the rust and neutralising the ferris to avoid rusting before getting the bushes and links pressed.
